Thank You

We owe huge thanks to all of our contributors. We know that you poured your hearts and souls into the thousands of stories that you shared with us. We appreciate your willingness to open up your lives to other nurses and healthcare professionals and share your own experiences, no matter how personal. We could only publish a small percentage of the stories that were submitted, but we read every single one and even the ones that do not appear in the book had an influence on us and on the final manuscript.

We are so grateful to Ronelle Frankel, whose editorial assistance provided immense efficiency and joy to this project. And we want to deliver a special thanks to LeAnn’s team members Jaejin Kim and Katie Hanna, who kept her speaking business thriving while she devoted time and attention to this book, furthering her mission to nurture nurses.

Assistant publisher D’ette Corona did her normal masterful job working with us and all the story contributors on edits, and editors Barbara LoMonaco, Marti Davidson Sichel, and Kristiana Pastir helped proofread the final layout. We are grateful for the very special Chicken Soup for the Soul publishing team.
